“Nature’s Touch is recalling Nature’s Touch brand Organic Berry Cherry Blend from the marketplace due to possible Hepatitis A contamination,” the CFIA said in an announcement.

The product, which weighs 1.5kg (3.3lbs), has ‘best before’ dates up to and including 2018 and the UPC ‘8 73668 00179 1’ has been sold exclusively at Costco warehouse locations in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador.
